I'm confused...Why is this line giving us a bunch of characters we already have?? I really thought they were on a roll with Mephisto, Watcher and the skrulls. Why not stick with characters that might not make it at retail or are larger figures.
My ideas for 2010 are:

Because they sell better, frankly. That's what I would assume, at least. I know that most of us would just like MS to fill in the cracks of ML, but can we really expect Diamond to think that way? It's not much of a strategy.

I don't say this as a MS fan; I own exactly one, Mephisto (although I really wish I'd bought Thanos when he was around... ). But I understand the logic behind DST wanting to make the more iconic characters, particularly now that ML is on it's last legs.
